MakeMan - An Open Source Project

MakeMan is a project to provide several frontends, GUI and non-GUI, to an
XML interface to write man pages. MakeMan
will use ``DocBook'''s definition (RefEntry) as a basis for man pages to represent
the content in SGML, so as to allow a large
variety of applications to access the same data. This will make it possible
to write different frontends, possibly networked client and www-interfaces,
SOAP-services etc. while at the same time promoting proper documentation.

While following the development of this project, the reader will gain a
thorough understanding of the various Open Source tools, resources and
possibilities used and appreciated all over the world. Since the project is
Open Source, the reader can participate in and influence the development of
MakeMan; (s)he can practice, learn and teach Open Source techniques and
technologies.
